    According to a nz stamps site: "The Avro 10, Faith in Australia, left Muriwai Beach, Auckland at 6 am and arrived in Sydney 14 hours 10 minutes later. Charles Ulm was the pilot, Scotty Allan the navigator/co-pilot and R.T. Boulton was the engineer. An airmail of 39,255 items was flown and a special cachet was applied."

    More photos of this event and aircraft, an Avro X, here. Apparently the wing upper surface was orange, which isn't apparent in these B&W shots.

    And no cup holders ... that was really roughing it!
    What a great picture to have in the library.

    Above the instrument panel near the windscreen you can see the kangaroo mascot which Charles Ulm appears to have set up in the cabin of 'Faith in Australia' in June 1933...shortly before he, Bill Taylor and Scotty Allan took off from Richmond aerodrome on their proposed flight around the world...

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/246233833 - the Daily Telegraph, 22nd June, 1933...the mascot is mentioned in this item that appeared in the Sydney Daily Telegraph the day after Ulm etc took off from Richmond...

    The NLA's Fairfax collection has a couple of pics of the mascot...

    If you're interested the NLA's Fairfax Collection has quite a few pics of 'Faith in Australia'...they come up if you go to the Trove records of the mascot I've linked to above and click on the tags..
